Roo droppings is a blog intended to replace my old tattered exercise books as a place to reflect on what is going on in my world. Some roo droppings about Ronda Eden.........I was born in 1956 in Adelaide, Australia the same year the Olympics were held in Melbourne of the same country and the same year my brother Richard died.

I Know You Rider, Mountain View, Wyoming July 2012

Thanks to Beth and John Buzis, Vets ( Tom Courier and Irena Weiss) and Volunteers, this was yet again a wonderful, fun- filled event. The ride takes its name from the popular Grateful Dead song 'I Know You Rider'. John is of course,a 'dead'icated fan!
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grateful_Dead).
The Ty-dye theme, which included the hidden bears out on the trail, takes you right back to the psychedelic 60's. The food was delicious and there was music again from the local band Wyoming Wind making the whole atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable. Kipling and I helped set trail (30 miles) on Friday and then did 50 miles (slow) both days. He was tired but bounced back really quickly. And me, well I don't seem to get tired riding this horse. It's like sitting on a hydrofoil.

Sunrise over base camp.

There was a 'Photo Ham' on the trail. See here the beautiful Michelle Smith of Trailwise Tack on her handsome Jet!.

The Trail up the underground pipeline. Up Up Up through towering aspens

About Me

Roo droppings is a blog intended to replace my old tattered exercise books as a place to reflect on what is going on in my world. Some roo droppings about Ronda Eden.........I was born in 1956 in Adelaide, Australia the same year the Olympics were held in Melbourne of the same country and the same year my brother Richard died. I have two sisters that are five year and 10 years older than me and there is ten years diffence between them.OK, how old are they?? e man).I spent 14 years in the USA where, after sorting through a considerable number of 'unsuitables', I found an excellent husband.I found 'Mernie' shovelling horse mature on his ranch in Wyoming and just had to have him. So I packed him in my suitcase and surprisingly had little difficulty getting him through customs. Oh that's right, they did give his boots a good scrub!
Now we have moved back to the US and run a horse boarding facillity called Onastring Ranch in Laramie in Wyoming. Now I'm the one shovellin' the poop!
